Since North Captiva is an unspoiled island, there are no supermarkets, so you will want to bring your groceries with you.There is a small grocery store on North Captiva Island, however it is quite expensive. Publix, on the mainland, will pre-pack your grocery order.  Simply fax your grocery list to them 48 hours in advance and when you arrive at the store your groceries will be waiting for you (frozen items are packed in a cooler).

Publix charges $10 to pre-pack your order for pick-up. You can fax your grocery order to Publix, and you can pick them up on your way to the marina. The Airport Shuttle fare includes a 15-minute grocery stop to pick up your faxed order. 48 hours in advance, fax your order (be as specific as possible in terms of brands, quantities, types of meats/produce), time of arrival, credit card # and expiration date. We recommend you follow up your fax with a phone call to PUBLIX to confirm receipt of order. A blank fax form is available below that you can use to prepare and fax your order. Wine and beer can be purchased at the grocery store. They do sell wine and beer on the island as well, however it is very expensive. Friendly Frankies is the liquor store next to both Publix.
